by the time I get home I have shut cell phone off expect house phone,office phones to be unplugged. Have husbands cell phone on for family so they can reach here if needed.I wont answer the door. I let my family. I just want to be disconnected from the world while at hm. Go to wk , market, all the needed things but at hm leave me be.Its not long lasting but its every month for about 3 days for last year or so

All the time!!!! Especially when it comes to immediate family!! I know it can be sad, but no one knows what the other person is going through and what is making her feel this way...therefore no judgment is passed.

Sometimes I do. Not as much as I did during the worst of perimenopause. When this happens, though, I let myself do what I want. I nurture the want to be alone. Usually the following day I’m better and back to my old self.

Absolutely! I will sometimes call-in sick to work if I really want to be left alone because there is usally no one at home during the day and that way I will be sure to have peace and quiet and no one around to bother me. By the next day I am usually ok.

Gosh, I hate it. Im fine now but as Ive started the big M , and when I have alot of things all needing the same amount of attention to get done I just shut down and want to find me and just BE. This has passed for now lol

Yes I get that way. I think in the winter time it’s worse for me. But sometimes when I’ve just had to deal with people too much, I just have to shut down and be left alone. Right now I’m in the middle of a major mess where I have to deal with lots of people and I feel like my nerve endings are just frayed.

This is something that I’m really becoming sensitive to. It drives me nuts as I’m normally ( and I use that term loosley )a social, friendly, happy lady. I’m not happy that any of us feel this way but I am relieved to know that I’m not alone. I feel horrible, low energy, bitchy, and am down right rude at times to those close to me as well as strangers =( it does pass after I finally isolate and get past the pms days, I mean week or so...but its hard to get others to understand that I’m just tired of people and need to be ALONE!

I just found this site today and I’m experiencing a bit of euphoria about it lol!

Yes! I can get that way many times, and when I do its only because I feel the need to be near God in prayer and meditation so I just shut myself off from all my surroundings and go to my quiet place and enjoy my time of peace with God.

I feel like the odd ball here... but it dawned on that you all have busy lives and people in your lives, so of course you’d want a break to be just you to yourself. I’m sure when I get moved close to family, make new friends, have a boyfriend and a whole life, I’m going to need my Me time. ;oD

it is healthy to allow yourself time alone. some people meditate, some paint or draw, others potter around the house...schedule regular time alone in your daily routine it is healthy normal and good for u
